Abstract
A rear communication display device according to an embodiment of the disclosure includes an information display optical system outputting communication display information to at least one of a rear glass or a trunk garnish disposed at a rear of a vehicle, and a controller determining a display mode for rear communication of the vehicle and outputting rear communication display information corresponding to the display mode. The controller determines the display mode as one of a manual mode in which communication display information is output through a user operation, and an automatic mode in which communication display information is output by determining a driving situation using navigation and camera information.
Claims9
A rear communication display device comprising:
- an information display optical system configured to output rear communication display information to a rear glass, a trunk garnish or both, which are disposed at a rear of a vehicle;
- and
- a controller configured to determine a display mode for outputting the rear communication display information and control the information display optical system to output the rear communication display information corresponding to the determined display mode,
- wherein the determined display mode is one of a plurality of display modes including:
- a manual mode in which the rear communication display information is output through a user operation, and
- an automatic mode in which the rear communication display information is output based on a driving situation determined from navigation and camera information, and wherein the information display optical system includes:
- a first optical system module disposed at a portion of the vehicle where a top end portion of the rear glass meets a roof of the vehicle and configured to output the rear communication display information to a first area of the rear glass;
- a second optical system module disposed in an interior of the vehicle and configured to output the rear communication display information to a second area of the rear glass;
- and
- a third optical system module disposed within the trunk garnish and configured to project the rear communication display information to an exterior surface of the trunk garnish.
